We place great importance on the protection of your data. The following Privacy Policy explains the collection, processing and use of your data on our website. Our website may include links to offers of other providers to which this Privacy Policy does not apply.

2. Personal data

Personal data are individual details on personal or material circumstances of a certain or identifiable natural person. This includes information such as one's real name, address, postal address and telephone number. The security of personal data is of great importance to us. This is why our websites are operated in accordance with the applicable legal regulations, especially the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the EU.

3. Using the website without providing personal data

You may use the information offered by our website without providing personal data.

a) Log files

Processing object: When our website is accessed we will process information about the requesting computer and browser such as the time of the request, the content accessed and the type of browser and operating system. Complete IP addresses that would allow specific computers and thereby specific Internet users to be identified are not collected.

Processing purposes: These data allow us to assess how our website is used and to optimise our website, i.e. for the pursuit of legitimate interests.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1) letter f of the GDPR.

b) Cookies

If you give us your consent, we will use session cookies.

Processing object: When our website is opened so-called cookies, i.e. small text files, will be saved by your web browser. Our website uses session cookies that only apply for the duration of the browser session and are not saved permanently but deleted automatically when your browser is closed. Cookies do not save data that could be attributed to you personally. Nor are the contents of cookies merged with personal data but remain pseudonymised (the data is only directly attributable to a randomly generated identifier).

Processing purposes: These cookies are used to process requests of your browser to our website and to assign them to a specific user, e.g. which contents you already opened or products you put on your saved shopping list. The data saved by cookies allow us to assess how our website is used and to optimise our website, i.e. for the pursuit of legitimate interests.

The legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time.

Prevention options: You may prevent cookies from being saved by disabling cookies in your browser settings. You may also view and delete the contents of cookies at any time. However, if you disable cookies, you may not be able to fully use all functions of our website.

c) Google Analytics

If you give us your consent, we will use Google Analytics.

Processing object: Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies. The information on your website use generated by the cookie is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA where it is saved. However, your IP address will first be shortened within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the European Economic Area Agreement. Only in exceptions will your full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the US and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by your browser through Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Processing purposes: Google will use this information on our behalf to assess your use of this website, to compile reports about website activity and to perform additional services related to use of the website and the Internet for the website operators.

The legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time.
